Buffy

The Counselors have a cat, and her name is Buffy. But Buffy is more than just a cat—she’s an experience. With her gentle nature and unreliability when it comes to responsibilities, she’s earned her title as our honorary “Counselor of Comfort.”

This chunky bird watcher is a sweetheart through and through. Unlike other nasty mean bully cats, Buffy never hisses or acts out—she’s all about making new friends and spreading good vibes. While she may not be the most playful with humans, she’ll entertain you with her solo toy-chasing adventures and her undeniable charm. She’s on low power mode, okay? Buffy’s unique blend of lazy and curious makes her a heavyweight delight in any room. You’ll often find her lounging in a sunny spot, sniffing shoes for too long, or vibing to soft jazz in the mess hall. Just don’t try to pick her up—Buffy prefers affection on her own terms. That said, when the mood strikes, she’ll claim your lap like it’s prime real estate, rewarding you with the softest purrs imaginable.

A Day in Buffy’s Life

Mornings at Camp Shady Birch start with Buffy’s routine of demanding breakfast, followed by a luxurious grooming session. Afterward, she’s off to her favorite pastime: inspecting shoes. Yes, shoes. There’s no sneaker, sandal, or hiking boot that escapes Buffy’s curious sniff test.

Afternoons are for napping—preferably in a sunbeam—interrupted only by brief bursts of energy to chase her toys or “supervise” podcast recordings. In the evenings, she becomes the lap queen, selecting the lucky human to grace with her presence while her smooth jazz playlist plays softly in the background.

Why Buffy Matters

At Camp Shady Birch, Buffy reminds us to embrace life’s little pleasures: a warm lap, a good meal, and the joy of simply being yourself. She’s the camp’s unofficial morale booster and a favorite topic of conversation among our podcast listeners. Her lovable quirks and affectionate personality make her a star both on and off the mic.

So, whether she’s sniffing your shoes, stealing the spotlight during recording sessions, or just being her clumsy, lovable self, Buffy brings a special kind of magic to the camp—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
